I actually had problems with one of my rear arms being too tight. I too built with aluminum shims. I was able to get it freed up with some fiddling. Hopefully it gets better once the car is run more.

Everything went together well on my build, no pinching needed anywhere. Theres a sliver of play in the rear arms, but not more than the usual amount in the c-hub / rear hub in arm play.

I think the minor problem that a few of you are having with arm spacing/binding during the build can be traced to the plastic eccentric bushings not sitting into the aluminum suspension blocks completely. The fitment of the eccentric bushing is quite tight and may require a light tap or two to be completely seated.

Yup. It wasn't having problem moving on the hingepin smoothly, just binding up when I would tighten everything down. I was able to free it up with some pinching and pushing.
